Well, Marlee broke up with her boyfriend of seven months. It was fun while it lasted, but these things inevitably come to an end. I guess one of the apostles said "steady dating at a young age is only practice for divorce," and I suppose he is right. They are still good friends and all, but Ryan will be going on a mission in a year and Marlee needs to have some fun dating other guys her senior year of high school, so it had to come to an end. By now you may be thinking, "what does this have to do with a cat?" I just couldn't take the depressed, moping-around-the-house-all-day Marlee, so when she started begging for a kitten I knew we were toast! The things we do for our kids!!! Here she is, the newest member of the family, Trixie kitty!

Um, YIKES! There is a boy kissing my daughter in this picture!! Not sure if I was supposed to witness this, but found it on facebook and here it is for all to see! LOL! We probably need to have a little talk with her . . . again!

I hope you all know that Miranda has her own blog. It is very cool and the link is down there on the right somewhere. Check it out!! You may need to ask her for permission because I think it is private. Anyways, she is pretty clever and has some good posts to share! Seriously, I just read it for the first time and there are pictures I have never seen, and it is fun to hear her take on the craziness that is our lives! Guess what? Marlee has her own blog too! Sheesh, she needs to update, but once she does I am sure it will be as fab as Miranda's and mine! ;)

Just some cute pics of the kids with the cousins, LOVE YOU GUYS!
After Erin's play, we went to Miya's graduation. It was the most crowded I've ever seen Mesa High! It was good to be back at the ol' alma mater, but also strange! Congrats to Miya! By the way, Daniel is headed to Jr. High in the fall and tested in for the honors math class, way to go Daniel! Marlee is going to be a colorguard captain for the second year in a row. Miranda is going to ASU again this fall, as well as working at Gammage and being a nanny. And last but not least, Erin will be in the 5th grade!
Erin played an ant in her 4th grade play, "Cactus Calamity!" It was all about taking care of our beautiful desert by not littering and such. Very cute play and lots of cool songs. It's funny they sang "Roll out the Barrel" with a little different words, but she was all impressed that I already knew the words, LOL! Oldie but goodie that one!
The gulz made posters to cheer for their favs at graduation, such fun!
Well, the end of another school year. Marlee here with her favs, the colorguard girls and, of course, Ryan! He is graduating this year and leaving her alone, boo hoo!
